Beringer Vineyards, Napa Valley's celebrated winery raises its glass to top design with its sponsorship of DIFFA's (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) DINING BY DESIGN events kicking off in New York on Sunday, March 30th. The multi-city events, which in past years have raised more than $12 million for AIDS related charities feature awe-inspiring dining installations by design luminaries such as architect David Rockwell, fashion designer Vivienne Tam and tabletop designer Marc Blackwell who has been tapped to create the Beringer table.

"We are delighted to be working with renowned tabletop designer Marc Blackwell," said Beringer spokesperson Elizabeth Hooker. "His accessible, elegant and modern American style is similar to how we approach our wines," she adds. The award winning California winery is known for its cutting-edge quality and contemporary elegance. Blackwell's creation for Beringer, which is themed on the essence and beauty of the Napa Valley lifestyle will be unveiled at the New York event. "I was inspired by the beauty of Napa Valley, the rich history of Beringer and the passion and honesty in winemaking," says Blackwell.

The festivities take place at New York's Skylight Studios with three days of wine and food tastings/public viewings, a cocktail party and VIP Gala. Guests at the gala dinner on Tuesday, April 1st will dine within the design installations, making the event a truly unique experience for all who attend.
